Better image

The poster image I supplied from impawards.com is not of the best quality. Could someone find a better image of this? Thanks. Reimelt 17:46, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plot

The plot summary is for the book with a brief description of the movie afterward, but a photograph of the recent DVD is included at the top. The picture should be moved down or separate sections should be made so the reader doesn't assume the plot is that of the movie. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.187.189.118 (talk • contribs) 05:39, 3 April 2007

National Society of Fans of Witch Mountain

I have removed the section about this "fan community" and the link in the references. There is a link to this on one of the other reference pages. This "fan community" seems to consist of people asking other people to pay $2 for a sheet of paper with their name on it and $10 to have their name listed in yellow on a list of members. Including it here seems like advertising. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.187.189.118 (talk • contribs) 05:46, 3 April 2007

To the above poster: Please sign your posts. You are highly incorrect in your evaluation of the pricing of joining the fan community. The $2.00 fee covers a certificate of membership and submittal into an online database. Considering that $0.41 of that $2.00 fee goes just to postage alone, it's a pretty good deal. The $10.00 donation is just that - a donation - and it is not required for membership. I suggest that in the future you research a topic in full before making a quick judgment. 71.100.17.36 00:38, 10 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's a moot point. The Society was originally hosted on MSN Groups, defunct as of October 2008. The link from The Witch Mountain Experience no longer works. Although The Witch Mountain Experience claims to be unaffiliated with the Walt Disney Company, it appears to be shilling for them. —Quicksilver^{T @} 07:39, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Summaries

Right now the sections for the 1975 and 1995 films are entirely empty except for links to the articles about those films. This is not the way it should go. If a sub-topic of an article is important enough to merit its own article, it definitely should be summarized in the article about the main topic. I'm going to look back in the history and see if there were summaries that someone mistakenly removed. -- 65.78.13.238 (talk) 01:50, 19 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism

I'm trying to get rid of the vandalism on this page but cannot for some reason. If someone else would take care of this I would appreciate it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.224.91.88 (talk) 02:31, 19 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Assessment

Because this is supposed to be about the novel, I assessed it at a stub. Most of the info here is about the films and should be moved.Tlqk56 (talk) 02:00, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
